There are safe levels of drinking, but there's no safe level of smoking.

Probably untrue like a lot of sayings. I guess one cigarette a week is ok.

It tastes good

It feels good

It relaxes me

and I just [Edited for language - Mod.] enjoy it

If you don't want to do it, that's fine with me.  I'll never tell someone what to do or not do.

Just leave me and mine alone, it ain't you're business.

I MAKE it my business when YOUR love for smoking interferes with MY quality of life.

Smoking is not only bad for a chess player. It is bad for everybody and also for childeren and others that smoke with you. you are not killing only yourself but also others. Thats why it is so bad. The worst addition thats exicist on the planet earth. What it does? All the poison can causes several desises like, lung cancher lung emphysema, hearth attack, hearth failure a bad condition in general stroath cancher a hole in your air pipe. Must I go on? In mothers the smoking causing damage to the unborn child in the brains and other organs and increases illness of the child later and also increases the chance that also the child will get addited to smoking. Finaly it is proven that even the DNA of the grand mother that smoked allready damaged the DNA of the child of her dauchter permatent even if the mother did not smoked.

Smoking is using drugs. Sigarettes are drugs.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. Don't forget air pollution.

 

You do never get out of it. Thats why it is the worst drugs. Because the drugs user is also damaging the non user. It is easy for the smoker to say. Oh because me you live less long becuase I smoke. But you never get out of it. So get use to it. You want to live healthy but I not! So I will take you with me. Easy as that!

So with a heroine user I have less problems because I get 0 Procent heroine inside me if he uses it. So go Ahead.

I also not drink it is your own choise to drink. As long you not step drunk in the car an kill a child it is ok.

I thought a smoker was both passive and active. Boy I was wrong.

 

What do you mean a smoker is both active and passive? What i know is a smoker smokes active by choise and a not smoker is also smoking passive against his own will or fee choice. He just have to. Because some else smokes near by.

Quitting smoking doesn't save you any money as you end up living much longer. Living costs money. 

 

that is certainly the worse thing to write about the problem : the way you live EACH month saving 300 dollars, (ie 200 Sri Lanka rupee), is better ... each day, with no doc, no med, etc ...it has nothing to do with the length of the life.

actually i must confess, as an ex-smoker, that i believed during years what u wrote, not as a joke buut as a ( bad ) reason why to smoke. I overreacted, nothing personal of course.Laughing.

In fact, ALL reasons to smoke are bad, the guy who discovered why helped millions of people to quit. it is so true, easy,obvious, I missed  that ... 44 years !

The craving is a distraction.

Nicotine is a stimulant, which will make you hyperactive in a game where patience is important - not a good idea.

Psychology Today states the following:

 Nicotine is one of the most heavily used addictive drugs in the U.S., and the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death. Cigarette smoking accounts for 90% of lung cancer cases in the U.S., and about 38,000 deaths per year can be attributed to secondhand smoke. Most cigarettes in the U.S. market today contain 10 milligrams (mg) or more of nicotine. The average smoker takes in 1 to 2 mg nicotine per cigarette when inhaling.

It's is not bad for just chess players. It is bad for everyone.
